    Does anyone have any visuals to a front caliper install and also the part breakdown itself? Im pretty damn pissed off right now! Went to put my new pads on and reinstall my calliper which has been sitting in the garage and I dont know much but im pretty positive that big round circular hole should contain some sort of piston....or what would push the pads close? Anyways mine is just a big gaping hole.

    so good news is, im so damn tired that the piston is infact in there its just compressed ALL the way so I thought it was missing. But I still would like to maybe see a pic of it installed on a bike. I have the Haynes manual so I have a similar image. My brain has trouble computing the diagrams like that lol

    You'll be ok. Maybe a slug of rum will help your head clear----
